The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has charged former Chattogram Royals owner MD Abdul Kayum Rashed and team official Md Amin with multiple breaches which includes match fixing allegations and obstruction.
The board brought disciplinary charges against two former BPL figures and provisionally suspended both men as part of a formal process under the ICC Anti-corruption Code.
The BCB conducted investigations into alleged corruption during the 11th and 12th editions of the BPL. The inquiries produced a set of charges covering alleged match-fixing involving officials.
The provisional suspensions will remain active throughout the disciplinary process. Abdul Kayum Rashed, who owned Chattogram Royals during the 12th edition of the BPL, has been charged under four sections of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.
Article 2.1.1 relates to allegedly fixing, attempting to fix or improperly influencing the result, progress or conduct of a match.
The article 2.4.4 covers an alleged failure to report an approach or invitation to engage in corrupt conduct.
Article 2.4.6 concerns alleged non-cooperation with investigators, specifically his refusal to comply with a demand to provide his primary mobile device.
Article 2.4.7 alleges obstruction or delaying the investigation by refusing to make that device available for forensic examination.
On the other hand, Amin Khan alleged conduct across both editions forms the basis of his own four charges. He served as operations manager for Durbar Rajshahi in the 11th edition before moving to Chattogram Royals in the 12th edition.
He is charged under Article 2.1.1 for allegedly fixing or improperly influencing a match, and under Article 2.1.4 for allegedly soliciting, inducing, encouraging or intentionally facilitating a participant to engage in corrupt conduct.
He also faces Article 2.4.6 for alleged failure to cooperate with the investigation and Article 2.4.7 for allegedly obstructing or delaying the probe by concealing or destroying communications or other information potentially relevant to the inquiry.
Under the ICC Anti-corruption Code of Participants 2024, both Rashed and Amin Khan have 14 days from the date of notification to submit their responses to the charges.
No hearing date or further procedural step beyond this initial response window has been confirmed at this stage. The BCB has not indicated a timeline for concluding the case, and no outcome should be inferred from the charges alone.
